Cross-reactivity
This antibody cross reacted with the outer surface of Cryptococcus neoformans serotype A [strain CSF] and a uncapsulated strain 52817
Proposed epitopes
N/A
Proposed Utility
This Mab unlike other Mabs to Cryptococcus neoformans did not react with glucurunoxylomannan and hence was not specific to the capsular polysaccharide
